Very very nice :shock: I love the blocks, are they smaller blocks to help with the curve shape of the pond?

Really classy build thank you for the pics, loving another build on the go updates :thumbup:

Thanks
Graham

Hi Graham,

Not quite sure what you mean by smaller blocks?

The 4 inch blocks laid up right will have a brick skin to create the 9 inch wall. The remainder of the pond will be at ground level so I can use 4 inch laid flat because they won't be seen.

Regards....Mart.

Hi Mart sorry if I didnt make myself clear :?

Under your window you seem to have the nice long blocks that you normally see on builds, and then as yuo start the bend your blocks look as if they are half size of the ones that are used under the window.

Didnt know if you was cutting them all in half or if they ome that size.

Graham
